a very different plant from Smouthi, which is often 
sold as anomala. The flowers of the true species are 
purplish in color, somewhat nodding and not much to 
look at, but of botanical interest. 
arietina alba. A very beautiful early species. Flowers 
with a silky sheen. A fine variety. 
cretica. Probably a form of P. arietina. Grayish green 
foliage, light pink flowers. A nice plant and very early. 
decora alba. Another fine early blooming plant. 
Emodi. The Himalayan peony. Very tall, with nodding 
white flowers and extremely handsome foliage. A beau- 
tiful species. 
macrophylia (tomentosa). A very large-leaved species 
from the Caucasus region. Flowers white; one of the 
first of all peonies in bloom. 
Mlokosewitschi. The only truly yellow herbaceous peony 
and one of the most beautiful of hardy plants. A very 
early and abundant bloomer. Although not always cer- 
tain to succeed, it should at least be tried in every 
garden. . 
obovata alba (Japan). This is the wild peony of Japan 
and is a pleasant little plant of no very conspicuous 
charm. It occurs also with pink flowers, and is then no 
better. 
officinalis lobata. You may call this simply Paeonia lo- 
bata if you wish. This too is a variable plant from seed. 
The precious form of it has flowers of a brilliant vermil- 
ion color and seems to be almost identical with the Eng- 
lish plant offered under the name Sunbeam. 
officinalis Ophia. A very good light red single form of 
officinalis. This would be a good plant to use for cross- 
ing. ; 
officinalis Otto Froebel. The authenticity of my plants is 
very doubtful. My stock seems to be identical with what 
is now called by Barr & Sons officinalis Charmer. In 
any caSe the flowers are single, of a good pink color, 
and the plant has proved of great value for hybridizing. 
Its seedlings do not run quite uniform in color. 
officinalis rubra plena. The old double crimson May-flow- 
ering peony. $1.00 
tenuifolia. The old fern-leaved peony. Very early, dwarf, 
flowers brightest crimson. $1.00 
tenuifolia flore pleno. The double form of the species; a 
fine garden plant. $2.00 
triternata. Very early. Light mauve pink flowers. Foli- 
age waved. A plant worth having.
